Critical validation workflow that assesses PRD, Architecture, and Epics & Stories for completeness and alignment before implementation. Uses adversarial review approach to find gaps and issues.

Perform an ADVERSARIAL Senior Developer code review that finds 3-10 specific problems in every story. Challenges everything: code quality, test coverage, architecture compliance, security, performance. NEVER accepts `looks good` - must find minimum issues and can auto-fix with user approval.

Navigate significant changes during sprint execution by analyzing impact, proposing solutions, and routing for implementation

Collaborative architectural decision facilitation for AI-agent consistency. Replaces template-driven architecture with intelligent, adaptive conversation that produces a decision-focused architecture document optimized for preventing agent conflicts.

Transform PRD requirements and Architecture decisions into comprehensive stories organized by user value. This workflow requires completed PRD + Architecture documents (UX recommended if UI exists) and breaks down requirements into implementation-ready epics and user stories that incorporate all available technical and design context. Creates detailed, actionable stories with complete acceptance criteria for development teams.

Create data flow diagrams (DFD) in Excalidraw format

Create system architecture diagrams, ERDs, UML diagrams, or general technical diagrams in Excalidraw format

Create a flowchart visualization in Excalidraw format for processes, pipelines, or logic flows

Create website or app wireframes in Excalidraw format

Creates a comprehensive PRD through collaborative step-by-step discovery between two product managers working as peers.

Create comprehensive product briefs through collaborative step-by-step discovery as creative Business Analyst working with the user as peers.

Create the next user story from epics+stories with enhanced context analysis and direct ready-for-dev marking

Conversational spec engineering - ask questions, investigate code, produce implementation-ready tech-spec.

Work with a peer UX Design expert to plan your applications UX patterns, look and feel.

Execute a story by implementing tasks/subtasks, writing tests, validating, and updating the story file per acceptance criteria

Analyzes and documents brownfield projects by scanning codebase, architecture, and patterns to create comprehensive reference documentation for AI-assisted development

Creates a concise project-context.md file with critical rules and patterns that AI agents must follow when implementing code. Optimized for LLM context efficiency.

Flexible development - execute tech-specs OR direct instructions with optional planning.

Conduct comprehensive research across multiple domains using current web data and verified sources - Market, Technical, Domain and other research types.

Run after epic completion to review overall success, extract lessons learned, and explore if new information emerged that might impact the next epic

Generate and manage the sprint status tracking file for Phase 4 implementation, extracting all epics and stories from epic files and tracking their status through the development lifecycle

Summarize sprint-status.yaml, surface risks, and route to the right implementation workflow.

Generate failing acceptance tests before implementation using TDD red-green-refactor cycle

Expand test automation coverage after implementation or analyze existing codebase to generate comprehensive test suite

Scaffold CI/CD quality pipeline with test execution, burn-in loops, and artifact collection

Initialize production-ready test framework architecture (Playwright or Cypress) with fixtures, helpers, and configuration

Assess non-functional requirements (performance, security, reliability, maintainability) before release with evidence-based validation

Dual-mode workflow: (1) System-level testability review in Solutioning phase, or (2) Epic-level test planning in Implementation phase. Auto-detects mode based on project phase.

Review test quality using comprehensive knowledge base and best practices validation

Generate requirements-to-tests traceability matrix, analyze coverage, and make quality gate decision (PASS/CONCERNS/FAIL/WAIVED)

Initialize a new BMM project by determining level, type, and creating workflow path

Lightweight status checker - answers ""what should I do now?"" for any agent. Reads YAML status file for workflow tracking. Use workflow-init for new projects.
